The maps have been designed through the Historic Mapping Project. The aim of the project was to examine and create maps of the area in order to record and interpret Church Street and Church Square.

Workshop sessions were delivered with pupils from Ward Jackson Primary School, youth groups and members of the public.

Participants researched historic plans and information held by the library service and then under the guidance of an illustrator did observational drawing and rubbings in the Townscape Heritage area. The illustrator incorporated the artworks into the maps displayed.

Isabella and Emily, two Hartlepudlians have mysteriously travelled from the past, to help guide you to your workshops at No 9, they need your creative power to help them return to their past families.

Can you help them back to the past? Attend these workshops to help them find their way back.

Be sure to ask them about how they repurpose old materials to repair garments and knit and crochet to cloth their families.
